Sabiha Gökçen is increasingly the airport of choice for medical-tourism arrivals destined for Asian-side Istanbul hospitals. Low-cost carriers from Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia use SAW, and Memorial Ataşehir's location makes the 25 km hop a straightforward, no-bridge transfer. Kings World Transfer provides the connection: name board at arrivals, fixed €40 sedan price, and a driver briefed on hospital drop-off.
Memorial Ataşehir serves a patient profile that includes IVF cycles, oncology follow-up, cardiac check-ups and executive health programmes. Many patients arrive with a companion and moderate luggage. Our Mercedes sedan handles this comfortably; for 3+ companions or medical equipment, the Vito is available at a small premium.
The 25 km route is one of the most efficient in Istanbul — SAW to Ataşehir via E5 avoids the city centre entirely. Outside the morning and evening peaks, the drive is consistently 28-35 minutes. For early hospital check-ins, pre-07:00 departure from SAW is ideal.
Post-operative returns from Memorial Ataşehir to SAW require the same care as inbound trips. Discharge can shift by hours — we hold the vehicle with a 2-hour buffer on the agreed window, at no extra charge. The driver assists with boarding and handles luggage. For patients with limited post-surgery mobility, the Vito's side-door access is preferable.
The fixed €40 price covers sedan, meet & greet, E5 motorway tolls and 60-minute flight-delay wait. For patients from low-cost carriers who have optimised every travel cost, this all-in flat rate is a key advantage — no taxi meter, no surge pricing at peak times.
